Primary Function: Ubuchule Bokwenza Ilaphu DefeXtiles bubuchule bokwenza ilaphu obuvelisa amalaphu abhityileyo nawa gobayo kwiiprinta ezisemgangathweni ezizezobude, ububanzi kunye nokuphakama (3D). Le ndlela ilawula ukukhutshwa okungaphantsi kwento ukuze kwakheke amaqhuma amancinci anemixokelelwane ecikizekileyo phakathi kwawo. Iigebhu ezivelayo ezenzeka rhoqo zinika inkangeleko ebonisa ukwaluka, ukuphefumla, ukuguquguquka kunye nokolulekayo, nangona kusetyenziswa izinto eziqinileyo ezinjenge-polylactic acid. Ilaphu liprintwa ngokuma ngqo kwibhedi yokuprinta, ngoko ke iimilo ezinamathwathwa, ezijikelezayo kunye nezintsonkothileyo zingenziwa. Ukusetyenziswa kubandakanya iimpahla, iindawo zonxibelelwano eziphathekayo kunye nezinto zokudlala.

Olu luyilo olumangalisayo luphumelele ibhaso lokuyilwa kwesilivere kwimpahla elukiweyo, yelaphu, imilo, iipateni kunye nokhuphiswano loyilo lweendwangu. Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufuneka ubone ipotifoliyo yoyilo lwesilivere esiphumelele ukufumana ezinye izinto ezininzi ezintsha, ezintsha, ezendalo kunye nezokuyila, amalaphu, uburhabaxa, iipateni kunye nemisebenzi yoyilo.
